dinner out

Restaurant meal occasion

A meal eaten at a restaurant rather than at home.

The phrase emphasizes the social or recreational aspect of dining away from one's own kitchen: Let's have a dinner out tonight, We treat ourselves to a dinner out once a month.

Often shortened to simply going out or eating out when context is clear.
